...Why Students Should Have a Dress Code Anthony L Link Baker College Why Students Should Have a Dress Code In schools across the world, students are permitted to wear certain types of clothing, or even have a school uniform that they are designated to wear on certain days, although for most public schools, this is not the case. For many public schools, students are allowed to wear certain clothing that expresses their opinions, views or likes and dislikes, although there are certain restrictions in this type of dress as well. School systems have been getting lax with what they are allowing in schools, and it may be hurting, helping, or even distracting students’ progress within the schools. Dress codes should be followed and enforced in order to provide a proper learning environment to students, so they can get the most out of their learning experience. Many schools have dress codes that adhere to when the school itself was founded, although certain professors and school officials have their own interpretation of the dress code. Many people wonder what exactly a dress code is. A dress code adheres to the standards that the establishment sees fit to promote and the values it was founded on (Evans, 2008). Although people have different views on what exactly a dress code should follow, be it business casual, street casual, or a type of uniform, there should be a standard of dress that everyone should follow as to keep people from being distracted or distraught from the...

...Final Proposal Brittany Izzo Rasmussen College Table of Contents Executive Summery Page 3 Problem Statement Page 3 Purpose Page 4 Problem Page 4 Solutions and Conclusions Page 5-6 Visuals Page 6 References Page 7 Executive Summary For my project I would like to have school boards change their dress code policy to a set uniform. I believe each year students dress more inappropriately to school, and do not follow their set dress code. With schools having set uniforms, bulling would decrease, and it is said that academics rise, violence reduces, it is a money saver for parents, and better prepares the student for the work force in the future. Also when a school has a uniform it helps the community look more appealing to those looking to buy a home there. Problem Statement Uniforms should be set in schools starting from kindergarten and go until the twelfth grade. Each year students break dress code, but it seems to be getting out of control. Students are dressing inappropriately for school and causing unnecessary attention to themselves, in the wrong way. This problem begins in the beginning of the school year and continues on until the end of the school year. With a set uniform it will not only affect the students, but it will affect the schools as well. Set uniforms will help the schools, because it will be one less worry the school has to think about. Uniforms will affect the...

...their competitors * Know the companies goals and ambitions when it comes to the community how they match with what you want to do for the community 2. Practice answering interview questions * The best way of going about this is to download general interview questions that are asked the most in an interview. Write out your answers and memorize the answers for the questions, but not the exact answer; so, it won’t look rehearsed. * Find questions that are specific to your field that you are applying to. For instance, I’m accounting major and I have looked up questions that applied to the accounting field so I will have an idea what an interviewer will ask pertaining to the field I’m applying for. 3. Technology * There are many resources available to you online that will allow you do mock interviews in the comfort of your home. For instance, UHD partners with a website called interviewstream that allows you to record your interview while answering questions. Dress appropriately like it is a real interview. 4. Use the Career Center – This is great opportunity to utilize the resources of the college you attend to practice before the actual interview. 5.

...promote discipline in students? Many people think so and are pushing the issue and requiring schools to enforce it. I couldn’t agree more with wearing school uniforms. I feel students should have to wear uniforms, however, even though there are several advantages and disadvantages on this controversy, I believe it is definitely beneficial for students and their future at hand. I am going to address several advantages as to why school uniforms should be worn both in private and public schools nationwide by including factors such as how uniforms decrease crime and increase safety, how uniforms create a level playing field among students to reduce peer pressure and bullying, and how uniforms are more effective than standard dress codes and prevent displays of inappropriate behavior. First of all, I’m going to explain how wearing school uniforms decreases crime and increases safety. Supporting statistics show that schools that mandate wearing uniforms have seen a significant decrease in student fights, possession of weapons, gang activity, graffiti, property damage, and battery by sixty three percent. School uniforms also prevent students from concealing weapons under baggy clothes, make it easier to keep track of students on class field trips, and keep intruders on school grounds more visible to be recognized. Others that disagree would say that school uniforms restrict students freedom of expression. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution...

Are strategies such as signing bonuses, tuition reimbursement, and business casual dress codes standard for new information technology workers? What strategies appeal most to you? Summarize your ideas in a two-page paper, citing at least three references. The first company I looked at was Johnson & Johnson. This company has diverse demographics in its workforce and management and has superior work/life benefits, including: retirement transition; paid time off for volunteering; a work/life resource and referral program; eldercare and adult-management services; childcare discounts, onsite daycare, resources for parenting and health-risk assessments and referrals. Some other benefits include flexible hours, onsite religious accommodations, subsidized membership in wellness/fitness facilities, a caregiver web site, an eldercare program, and college webinars and counseling.

...Pharmacy students, upon entering their institutions, have to abide by a code of conduct usually higher than other students following a different career path. Students specialising in law, marketing or accounting do not have to maintain the high standard of professionalism that pharmacy students have to demonstrate whilst in school. Students have deemed this set of rules unfair and professionals insist that it has to be maintained in order to fully understand the grasp of pharmacy as a profession. Personally, I understand the need to abide by these rules but also agree with other students that is not necessarily fair. The profession,pharmacy, deals with lives. The three most important aspect of pharmacy are quality, safety and efficacy of medicines and these in turn help to save patients’ lives, to improve their health and to manage chronic diseases while at the same time maximising the comfort of the patient. It is important to demonstrate a degree of professionalism for patients to ensure their lives in our care. This level of competence can only be exhibited upon entering the profession if students are taught right from day one. It improves the chances of perfecting skills that have been taught and instilled from college and therefore of providing better services to the patients. As future pharmacists, pharmacy students have to assume the role and learn to behave in an appropriate manner that is respectful to both the profession and colleagues. A pharmacist or even a pharmacy...

...Chapter one 1.0 Introduction Just a casual look at Nigerian universities these days will suffice to realise that so many social vices have become the order of the day. Chief among these are the twin evils of cultism and indecent dressing. Interestingly, these vices are commoner among the males and females respectively. What probably began as pacification to desires for companionship, protection and security; an innocent imitation of westerners has grown to bedevil sanity and progress on our university today. In this paper, cultism, indecent dressing and some other related social vices will be dealt with in light of their causes, consequences and possible remedial steps. 1.1 Definition of Basic Terms * Social vices * Cultism * Secret cult * Secret societies * Indecent dressing Social vices: Social vices are forms of evil, wicked and criminal actions or behaviours in the society. These are social problems and have been thought of as social situations that a large number of observers feel are inappropriate and need remedying. Social vices are those acts and conditions that violate societal norms and values. Cultism: The Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary defined cult as a small group of people who have extreme religious beliefs and who are not part of any established religion. Secret Cult: Ogunade (2002) defined a secret cult as an enclosed organized association or group devoted to the same cause. It is an enclosed group having an exclusive...

...October 29, 2012 An Interpretation of Society Today Back to 1921, writer Frederick R. Banard published an article titled, “One Look is Worth A Thousand Words”. To this day that phrase still remains true and is referenced often. A picture does tell a story, but what kind of story it tells depends on how it is interpreted. Generation Me author Jean Twenge shows self-esteem and interest in self in many different ways throughout the book. Here, the two images portrayed display those same things along with self-confidence and self worth. As Twenge states, “The society that molds you when you are young stays with you the rest of your life” (Twenge 2). The images hold true to Twenge’s statement. Generation Me has evolved into an all about me society. The first image is that of a young, white, obese male walking through a crowded area. The young man is wearing a brown shirt with the phrase, “I’M #1 SO WHY TRY HARDER” printed front and center where everyone can notice. The second image has an older man, possibly in his sixties, dressed in a navy suit and blue tie and carrying a brown leather brief case. The older man is looking at a younger man in his twenties. The younger man is wearing a black suit jacket, casual striped button up shirt unbuttoned at the top, and jeans. Instead of a brief case, the younger man is holding a yellow binder along with a manila folder in one hand and a smart phone in the other. The images show GenMe’s focus on self. The younger men in each image are...

This passion led to him opening his first store, Harley’s, in Tyler, Texas, thirty years ago. In 2009, Mr. Hooper decided to expand his store by opening a second store in College Station, Texas, which is the focus of our project. Even though the store will only be celebrating its second anniversary this May, they already have a large customer following that is continuing to grow. Our audit will be providing assessments of Harley’s current marketing strategies to show them not only what they are doing well, but how they can make further improvements to the company. In order to do this, we will first define both the stores current and aspirational target markets and analyze their position in the minds of the two markets.

...Artistry, Choice and Leadership: Reframing Organizations Vanessa M. Araiza March 2015 California State University, Northridge Introduction Organization Historical Background Goodwill originated in 1919 with Edgar J. Helms, a minister with a vision and a mission to afford individuals with disabilities and other disadvantage minorities, including veterans returning from World War I. The innovator saw the opportunity to create a service where individuals through recycling unwanted items through community donations and reselling those items to generate jobs for those who otherwise would not have the opportunity to attain a job. As with organizations, Goodwill originated with a simple two level operational structural frame, with the minister making all the decisions on the everyday operation of the organization and his team of employees with disabilities running the day to day operations. The organization refurbished unwanted goods within the community and resold items for a profit in order to generate jobs for individuals with disadvantages. During the course of time the organization has expanded tremendously and even partnered up with other nonprofit organizations, such as the Red Cross, to provide resources to individuals in need (History of Goodwill, 2005). The one-boss simple structure arrangement has evolved into a “machine bureaucracy” sort of organization, as described by Mintzberg’s five-step model. Today the organization is an organization with...
